# Liverpool: Fans react to The Athletic’s update on Reds’ chase for Timo Werner

**Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting in awe to the latest transfer development of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.**

According to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/1624500/2020/02/27/timo-werner-liverpool-barcelona-manchester-united-transfer/?source=shared-article), the 23-year-old hotshot is waiting on manager Jurgen Klopp to make his move, who only has until April to activate the Germany international’s release clause of £51m. With [21](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/timo-werner/profil/spieler/170527) goals in 23 appearances during the current campaign, it is no wonder why the Reds are so keen to bring him to Anfield.

Werner, who has represented his country on [29](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/timo-werner/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/170527) occasions, previously admitted that he would [suit Liverpool’s playing style](https://www.givemesport.com/1549275-timo-werner-admits-he-would-suit-liverpool-and-praises-jurgen-klopp) and was thrilled with the idea of playing for the Merseyside club. As a result, supporters were delighted with the update from Pearce and made their feelings clear on social media. One fan said that he has never wanted a player so much in his life.
